In sessions Claude Code treats as diskless, it now stops before compacting, or shrinking, the transcript file. In those sessions, the list of saved subagent transcripts also comes back empty unless a different storage method is in use.\n\nThe compaction step also takes one extra option, which is off by default.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn practice, diskless sessions avoid working on transcript files on disk.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
